Google's April Fool's day prank with Gmail -- the "mic drop" button, which replaces a normal button with a button that attaches a GIF to sent mail -- seems to have gone wrong: https://twitter.com/waxpanca

HN meta: I'm sort of disappointed that this has been getting downvoted. Obviously, what Linden is saying in this case is probably not helping his business case. It's clear to me that he either does not understand why Maciej doesn

In my research on phones from the Unrevoked project (admittedly, 4+ years ago), this was the case: the baseband and the CPU shared the same memory. The baseband memory was carved out from the CPU such that the CPU could not access it, but

Something seems wrong about the dates in this article. The article has a byline for today, but the bill was proposed in June 2015, and would have an effective-of date of the first of this year. nysenate.gov indicates that it's still i

I assume that the reason why this is being downvoted is because people disagree with the "for money" premise. (I wish downvoters in this case would comment, rather than simply downvoting!) Flytenow was operating under the provis
